For me the appointment meetings are not thorough enough. With my previous endocrinologist there was extensive questions along with extensive examinations. Dr. Gong literally did not touch me! This was a consultation that should’ve happened virtually as opposed to me and my wife both leaving work early fighting through traffic paying for parking for two vehicles. There was not a lot of dialogue about any issues or concerns I had. Everyone Doctor included seemed to be in a rush to go.

Disclosures

Jennifer H. Gong, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
